' The present invention relates to an apparatus particularly useful to paper hangers and the like and has forits prime object toy i provide a structurev whiohimay be extended to form an eilicie'nt paste table or may be folded to provide an eiioient case for provid ing apparati incident to paper hanging or thelike. Y

A. still further very important object of the invention resides in theprovision of an c apparatus of this nature which is simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, easy to manipu-,. late, thoroughly efficient and reliablevinl use,

and otherwise well adapted to the purpose forwhich it is designed.

With the above and' numerous lother -olojects in View, as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement ,of partsy as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

To 'enable others skilled Vin the art to fully comprehend the underlying'features of the apparatus, that they may embody the same by the numerous modifications inv structure and relation-contemplated by this invention',

drawings depicting a preferred form haver been annexed as a part of this disclosure and in such drawings, like charactersv of yreference denote corresponding parts throughout all of the views, of which: v v

Figure 3 isa fragmentary bottomy plan View' of the apparatus extended,- but with 4 legs folded inside.

broken, whereby theleg frames `may be fold- 957 ed in the caseseotions a and. then one case Y section folded over on top of the othercase j sections. These case sections. may contain apparati incident to the use to which ther.

table would be put. Thus it is contemplated'mq I c extended? panel orplate '5,W'ith1longitudinal L60 using the same asa paper hangers paste table and therefore paper hanging paraphernalia would preferably be stored therein.

As a method of use and operation of this device is thought t0 be clear from the above description, further detailed discussion thereof is thought to be unnecessary. It is therefore believed that the present invention provides a simple and practical deviceV adapted to accomplish, among others, all of the advantages and objects set-forth above.-

-Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications, without omitting certain features that, v

from the standpoint-of theprior art, clearly constitute. essential characteristics of the e,

generic orspecificaspects of the invention, yand therefore, such adaptations should and are intended to be comprehended, as fall within-the meaning,grange or equivalency -of the following claim.

, v4What isclai'med is:

In anapp'aratus of the class described, agpair of case sections, a plate hingedly connected to the sections so that the sections may be extended in; co-planar relationship or yfolded one-above the other to provide a case,

means for holding the sections in extended 1 relationship, foldable leg structures v asso- 4ciatedfwith the case sections, each case section comprising a plate body having side walls and-an end wall extending perpendicularly therefrom,feach leg section comprisinga leg frame pivotally engaging between the respective lside walls of this respective case section, brace sections pivotally engaged with the frame, and other vbrace sections pivotally engaged withthe respective side 7l walls, means pivotally connectingthe brace sections together including leaf springs having pins t0 pierce registering'openings in the brace sections when inextended relationship,

-said means for holding :the ,adjacent sections inlextended relationshipcomprising brace sections pivot'ed to the side walls and 'pivoted ,together and having means includl-ing leaf 'springs and pins-to :pierce 'the open- "ings in the last mentioned-brace sections 'to hold thernin extended relationship, cross rods having hooked-ends tolengage the last mentioned brace section:
